Wipro Limited has announced the launch of a dedicated AI-Native Business & Platforms Unit, marking a strategic step toward expanding its capabilities in artificial intelligence-driven solutions and platform-based services. The new unit is designed to complement Wipro’s core services business and strengthen its position in an increasingly “services-as-software” landscape. With a focused operating model and targeted investments, the initiative aims to accelerate the development of enterprise-grade, AI-driven solutions while enabling scalable, outcome-based value creation for clients.
The business unit will consolidate and scale a portfolio of AI-powered platforms under Wipro’s existing ecosystem, including solutions across industries such as financial services, aviation, healthcare, and telecommunications. It will also support delivery platforms that enhance operational efficiency and enable faster deployment of digital transformation initiatives.
Leading the new unit is Nagendra Bandaru, who has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. A long-time Wipro leader, he brings extensive experience in building high-performing businesses and scaling innovative platforms. He will continue to report to Srini Pallia, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.
In addition, Kanwar Singh has joined Wipro as President and Managing Partner of Technology Services. With more than three decades of global experience, he will focus on driving large-scale transformation programs and enhancing client value across industries.
Srini Pallia stated that the launch of the AI-native unit represents a strategic shift aimed at strengthening Wipro’s ability to deliver measurable business outcomes. He noted that the initiative will enable faster scaling of AI-led platforms while unlocking new growth opportunities through deeper integration of data, workflows, and intelligent systems.
The unit will also collaborate closely with Wipro’s venture arm and partner ecosystem to incubate new AI-led business models through an invest-build-partner approach. Dedicated engineering teams will support clients in adopting these solutions, helping accelerate innovation and improve time-to-value. The launch of the AI-Native Business & Platforms Unit reinforces Wipro’s commitment to leading in the era of intelligent transformation, enabling clients to build agile, resilient, and future-ready enterprises.
